| Country/IP blocking on TWTD 10:42 - Mar 27 with 4315 views | GavTWTD |
Our sister site FansNetwork has been hit by a large number of bots from abroad. At the moment it's specifically China, Singapore, Russia and Vietnam. All using tens of thousands of different IP addresses generating hundreds of thousands of page views. On TWTD we've always blocked Russia but it make sense to block the others too. India and Pakistan are likely to be included too, maybe Brazil. Just checked Vietnam have used over 200,000 IP addresses in the last 24hrs.
If you're affected by this then we can override this for specific IP addresses but won't be able to if you're IP is dynamic. We'll start to do this next week. Get in touch please if this affects you or are in any of the countries listed.
Added to football category for wider readership.

This isn't directly related but it seems like a suitable place to ask. Have you seen a significant increase in bots since Ashton-gate? It's obvious there's bot-swarms that follow anything Farage touches on X. Just wondering whether this place was catching some overspill? |
No, nothing like that. | |
